What im trying to say is: we are getting re2 remake and it's too early for re3 remake. I don't want it to be like yakuza games where every year we get new remake/remaster. Let other IPs getting some love first (i wish sega would take a break from remastering yakuza and remaster persona3 ).

Would really enjoy RE8 to be of the same quality as RE2 is shaping up to be, combined with the excellent progression of RE4, with the nostalgic co-op of RE5. Personally enjoy playing through these scares with a friend.

That’s what you’re missing. It did not fail due to co-op. Some could argue it continues to sell to this day from the co-op aspect. It failed due to horrible progression and cheap action focused unmemorable setpieces. In my opinion there’s no reason why you can’t have an excellent horror game to travel through with a friend. The execution just needs to be on point

Having a friend with and helping you does not make a survival horror game...then when people want a solo game guess what? They can't because they put you with a AI partner as the game is built up with co-op in mind, two people to open a door, two people to get across a gap, two people to work together on a boss. It's awful for a RE game.

"In my opinion there’s no reason why you can’t have an excellent horror game to travel through with a friend"

The reason we haven't had one yet is because it can't work without it not being a horror game, Resident Evil tried, it failed, Dead Space tried, it failed. They become something else and become a shadow of their former self's.

If you can read this and I mean all of it and still think co-op wasn't the main problem of RE5 then you are lying to yourself. It changed the entire game.

Tyrants, Zombies, better developed villains, Barry, more Jill, so on...it had it all

Co-op isn't the problem. RE5 didn't fail at all. It sold 7.3 million copies and was until recently, Capcom's best selling game of all-time. The irony is the 3 most hated RE games are three best selling RE games. I crack a smile at the toxic RE fanboys who pine away for fixed camera angles, archaic tank controls, and one dimensional characters all the while never realizing horror in and of itself is finite. The genre is short-lived; I mean you can only be scared once before it loses its fear factor. That's why I applaud Capcom for constantly re-inventing the IP. Every game in the series may be not your cup of tea but lasting nearly 20 years in a sea of dead IPs (pun intended) is mighty impressive

I’d rather see those resources spent on new entries. RE7 and Monster Hunter Worlds were fantastic. I’m sure DMC 5 will be great too. I get the need for these remasteres/remakes for the revenue stream, but I really wish Capcom would put more effort into new games.

I disagree, Resident Evil 4 is the most successful widely acclaimed entry in the i.p. since its inspeption. A remake with updated controls and visuals would be greatly appreciated among the RE community. The game is going on 15 years of age (2005) and most games see a remake within 10-15 years so id say its overdue. Probably a matter of time if re2 is succussful until they give others the same treatment re2 is getting.
